As recorded by Leo Notenboom, great quotes (taken quite out of context) from Gnomedex 6.0. Some of these may be paraphrased:

• “Geeks shouldn’t name things.” (Kathy Gill)
• “That’s a bad opinion to have.” (Mike Arrington)
• “Don’t use my own facts against me.” (Mike Arrington)
• “I’m only hosting the conference, I have no idea what’s going on.” (Chris Pirillo)
• “Everyone is a store.” (???)
• “Nobody wants to put their balls into one vice.” (Marc Canter, to which someone else commented, “I prefer to split mine between at least two.”)
• “Someone is going to get a pair of my underwear.” (Chris Pirillo)
• “It’s all crap.” (Steve Gillmor)
• “This software has never been touched by venture capital hands – that’s why we don’t have blue balls.” (Marc Canter on People Aggregator, referencing swag given by BlueDot.us.)
• “We don’t need to be 800lb gorilla’s, we can be 100 8lb Orangutans” (Darren Barefoot)
• “The elder community has a lot to offer – as they retire, what else are they going to do?” (???)

There was also a classic remark given by Halley Suitt to the male-laden GIllmor Gang who was referencing giving bl*wjobs… something along the lines of: “Excuse me, but which one of you is most qualified to talk about giving bl*wjobs?” And then there was the unforgettable statement made by a casual observer, Janet Pantoja, basically suggesting that everybody drop the ego-trumping and actually do something to improve the world. Come to think of it, the more intelligent statements made at Gnomedex were by women. Do you have any favorite Gnomedex 6.0 quotes?
